DynamicObject as data source for ObjectDataObject

[Chris]

I'm trying to pass in some business objects to an ObjectDataSource that inherit from DynamicObject. I want to be able to use properties that aren't concretely defined at compile time in the reports using the Fields.<Field name> syntax. I keep getting an error saying that these fields are available with in the context. Any suggestions?

Hi Chris,

The DynamicObject is introduced in .NET 4.0 and Telerik Reporting supports .NET 2.0. This currently does not allow us to add support for DynamicObject. We have plans for dropping older .NET version and after we go to .NET 4.0 and above, we will be able to add support for the DynamicObject. Currently you can use DataTable to substitute the required functionality.

Hi!

I would really appreciate dynamic support in Telerik.Reporting. Could you specify your plans for dropping .NET 2.0 support​ and realizing this feature?

Thanks,
Marco

Hello Marco,

We have already dropped the support for .NET 2.0 but currently we don't have plans to introduce support for DynamicObject. However we are interested in your case and we will appreciate if you elaborate further on you business scenario.

In the meantime our suggestion is still to use DataTable to substitute the required functionality.
